What we particularly like about the Atlantic Eco-Expo is its steps to walk the talk. In today’s world, more and more consumers, organizations and companies are taking a harder look at the services they use, and the commitments they make to back up their promotion of green. That’s where the Atlantic Eco-Expo scores big marks. Check out these measures to reduce the show’s footprint:

• Communication technology to limit paper trail
